GENTLENEN:-In April, 1888, / was
prostrated by severe attack OF inrian,
matory rheumatism and was confnea
to my bed four months. l was attended
by the best medical skill, but rapidly
grew worse until 1 was reduced to a
mere skeleton.
The disease had gone to my lungs and
to the region OF my heart and I was
finally given up by the physicians, who
said could live but few hours at most
and that all they could do was to make
me as easy as possible by killing the pain
by frequent injections of morphine.
was finally advised by friend TO take
DIR. Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy. Upon
being asked as to giviEg it to me, the
physician said 4" have no faith in pat
ent medicines, bat give il to him; it will
not hurt him."
was then so near dead that my limbs
were cold below the knees, and u numb
sensation began to creep over my BODY.
and L suffered will, great pain in nv
chest and about my heart After had
taken the first few doses l experienced
more rain than before, for it seemed to
drive the pain from the vital parts toward
the extremitles. l continued to take it
according to directions. Four days after
the physicion who gave me up called TO
see me, and said was much better. In
about TOUR weeks could sit up; then
gained very fast and became as we'll ss
ever. CHAS. O. RARNJTM

DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS.
Proposing to Increase the Board to
Seven Members.

A movement is on foot among the represen-
tative citizens of the District toward enlarging
the membership of the board Of commission
ers. The scheme favored is 10 have seven com.
missioners to represent the different sections of
the city, Georgetown, and the two sections of
the ecounty and each commissioner is to be q res
ident of the section he will represent. An effort
VIII also be made 10 form citizens Organizl-
tions in the various sections of the city, from
which II is expected that subcommittees will
be created to examine into the needs of their
respective sections. From the subcommittee
is also to be formed central committee, to
whom is TO be submitted for adjudication the
siOns of the central committee are to be held
final and authoritative as to the wants OF the
people of the District. The reports of this com
mittee are to be submitted to the commissioners,
and they ore also to assist the commissioners
In obtaining desired legislation from Congress.
The object OF the central committee is to be
source ofrelief to the commissioners and to
rtmove the objections already raised by the
District committees in Congress of CLASH oil
interests by the citizens of the District. The
belief is very strong that a board of seven
| commissioners, holding each oommi ssioner r5'
tponsiblt for the interests of the section he rep-
IesCuts, Will be the proper solution OF the dill
| cullles that now surround the present iorm OF
| administration. The method of selecting the
commissioners hos not been fully agreed upon,
but enough is learned to know that the system
| fr0pc will not be entered into IL Is also prob
| able that movement to secure a representa-
| tive in Congress for the District will form a
| feature of the plan. Nothing Will be done
| until the next Congress meets, and by tina.
time everything Will be arranged.
